Afternoon Coaching Rumor Roundup: Marrone and Austin

Doug Marrone

The constantly growing list of potential head coaches has also expanded to include former Bills head coach and current Jaguars assistant head coach/offensive line coach Doug Marrone.

Marrone was interviewed for the Eagles’ head coaching opening back in 2013 but didn’t get the job [editor’s note: obvs]. He went on to coach the Bills to a 15–17 record before opting out of his deal and rubbing his then-players the wrong way.

Marrone headwear status: hybrid, likely due to weather

Teryl Austin

Austin, the Lions’ defensive coordinator, was in this morning’s roundup, but now it’s a little more nailed down since Chris Mortensen confirmed his interview status with the Eagles on NFL Insiders just a little bit ago (via BGN). He’ll also reportedly interview with the Browns.

When he's not writing about sports here or ranting about them on Twitter, Jim is probably watching X-Files on Netflix or drinking a beer somewhere. Jim has nothing against hockey, it's just not his style. He once met Duce Staley at a Sixers game.
